'Orkney Held Me Close' Exhibition by Nicki MacRae.

Because she's too modest to post it herself... ;)

"‘Orkney Held Me Close’ is an exhibition of work created following my stay on Orkney in February 2011. I travelled to study the megalithic remains as part of my ongoing work, painting the ancient places of the UK - however Orkney enchanted me and inspired me into a hugely prolific period and I created a large body of work. I am delighted to have the chance to show a selection of paintings, landscapes and abstracts, at For Arts Sake, Kirkwall."

I honestly thing everyone's creative - and a lot of it is letting yourself go, being brave about it, and finding your 'thing' and practicing it. Not everyone's into painting, or fine art of any sort, but everyone's creative. I'm in awe of people who can make clothes, or grow stuff, or knit, or take photography seriously, do beautiful make up, have an intuition with animals, throw pot's, work metal, understand and read the landscape...
